-Egyptian Wolf


Misty got out, but decided not to follow him this time as she walked slowly to her own room, staring down, and holding her arms sadly. Risika looked worriedly at Misty as she walked solemnly into her room and crawled under the covers of her bed, nuzzling her head on her pillow and crying. Risika went and sat down on the couch in the living room as Bakura followed and sat next to her. Risika laid her head on his shoulder, staring down at the floor.

"I feel bad for her... I mean, imagine what these next nine months are going to be like for her." Risika commented.

Bakura sighed and wrapped his arm around Risika's waist. "That'd be horrible," he uttered. Afterwards, he and Risika merely sat and spoke about plans for the next nine months.

For these nine months, Misty was left to decide most of this out herself. Risika would of course help when it was needed, but it still didn't feel the same to Misty. She would cry a lot more now and would stay in her room. Ko would remain in his own room half the time as well, staying away from them and spending more time at the Duel Masters center. When it had come time for Risika to give birth, only Bakura could be there for her, since Misty was in labor around the same time. Misty, however, had only those doctors to be there for her since Kokujo refused to even look at her anymore, let alone be there for her when she had his own kid. After she'd finally given birth to her child, she regretfully had to give him Ko's name, since she didn't even know hers. It was lost with her parents a long time ago. It was a human baby boy she'd given the name Seba, while Risika had four half demon children; one boy and three girls, who she named Lupus, Aqua, Aurora, and Ember.

A few weeks after giving birth to the children, Risika was lying in bed with Bakura one night and could hear one of her four kids begin to cry.

She kicks Bakura in the side, muttering, "Your turn..."

Bakura groans, mumbling through his sleep, "Why me?"

"I did the hard part of birthing them. That's why! Now shut them up!" She snaps back, covering her head with the pillow.

Bakura gets up after being shoved off the bed and walks sleepily into his kid's room to find Ember awake and crying. He picks Ember up and walks downstairs sleepily, grabbing a bottle of milk out of the fridge. While Ember stares up at Bakura with her big brown eyes, she drank from the baby bottle, looking incredibly cute and adorable. Ember's eyes close slowly and she hiccups cutely. Bakura sits on couch and falls back, dropping the baby bottle and falling asleep with Ember still in his arms. Ember hiccups again and cuddles next to her dad as she falls asleep.

Misty, who is sleeping in her own room, (they used another for Seba since Kokujo wouldn't let her sleep or be near him in any way), hears him crying too and gets up, walking into his room. She walks in and picks him up.

"Shh... it's ok, I'm here... it's ok," she whispers as she rocks him back and forth.

Seba looks up at her and slowly stops crying, sniffling cutely as he cuddles up to her while she rocks him slowly back to sleep.

Misty starts singing a lullaby she'd heard somewhere. "Hush my baby. Don't cry a peep. The moon's in the sky, let's count the sheep... 1... 2... 3... 4... hush shush shh snore." She continues singing, letting her voice grow quieter and quieter. "I said; hush, shush shh, snore... sleep now, little one, till morn..."

She smiles at him as he sleeps contently in her arms, snoring lightly. She lays him back down gently and tucks him in, kissing his forehead. Seba sleeps through the rest of the night. She then walks back to her room and lays back down, trying to catch the tail of sleep again though can only succeed at staring at the opposite wall.

She gets up and walks out to get a soda from the fridge and sees Bakura and Ember. Sighing and frowning, she walked away again, forgetting a drink as she walks up to Ko's room. From his door, she watches Kokujo sleep peacefully and sobs quietly, wishing he could actually be like Bakura with Seba. She sighs and rubs her eyes, but stays where she is; knowing she wouldn't be able to sleep if she tried anyway.

Misty looks back towards Seba's room and sobs harder, though making sure she doesn't wake Ko or anyone else. As she walked back to her room, she collapsed on her bed, crying into her pillow. Still unable to sleep, she gets up and, grabbing a pillow and a blanket, walks into Seba's room. She sits next to his crib and watches him sadly, afraid of what it would be like while he grew up.

In her own room, Risika grabs for a pillow to cuddle with in her sleep after not finding Bakura next to her and wakes up. Sighing, she walks into her kids' room, picks up the other three and carries them to her room. She lies down and lets them crawl all over her before they find a comfy spot near her and fall asleep, the wolf-like characteristics showing in all of them. Before falling asleep, Risika breathes in Aurora's sweet-smelling hair, smiling.

About seven years later, we see a little half-wolf demon girl with silver-blue streaked hair, brown eyes, wearing a red tank-top and light blue jeans standing next to a little half-wolf demon boy with black hair, purple eyes and wearing all black. The little boy glared at her, since she was annoying the heck out of him.

"Knock knock..." she says smiling.

"Nobody's home..." he replies, glaring at her.

"Knock knock..."

"Nobody's home!"

"Knock knock..."

"Alright, alright, who's there?" the little boy then asked, giving in.

"Buck..."

"Buck who?"

"Buck buck! I'm a chicken!" she squeals happily.

Unbeknownst to the others, another little boy, a human with blue-black hair, is in his room, a hand over his right eye as sobbed to himself. One red eye could be seen through tears as he cried into the sleeve of his dark purple sweater.

"Awww... Mom? Can I kill her?" the little boy arguing with the girl asked holding onto Risika's pant leg.

"Not before dinner, Lupus," Risika replied looking down at him.

Misty walks in to where Risika is, looking around. "Have you guys seen Seba?" she asks.

"No, not recently... why?" Risika responded.

"I haven't seen him all day" Misty said worriedly.

"Knock knock..." the little girl asks, tugging on her mother's pant leg.

Risika looks at her. "Don't torture you're mother, Aqua..." she replies.

"I need to go find Seba," Misty says to herself as she walked away.

She walks up to his room and knocks on his door. "Seba? Are you in there?" she asks as she continues to knock.

Seba says nothing while hiding in his bed. Misty opens the door and walks in, smiling when she sees him under his covers.

"Seba, there you are!" she says smiling.

Misty walks over to him. "Why are you still in bed? It's time to get up", she says smiling and sitting down on his bed.

The little bruised boy, Seba, sits up, a hand still over his eye as he looks up at her sadly.

Misty eyed at him suspiciously. "Why are you covering your eye?" she asked, suspicion in her tone. She gently takes his hand and pulls it away to find a black eye.

"Seba, what happened?" she asked, in an incredulous voice.

Seba stays quiet and looks at the door solemnly.

Misty sighs and moves a little closer, whispering, "Did Daddy hit you?"

Seba cries a little more and nods. She hugs him and picks him up. "Come on... we need to get you some ice for that eye," she said as she walked out of his room. While walking to the kitchen, she turns to Seba.

"Seba, just don't say anything to Risika, okay, sweetheart?" she said to the poor little boy.

Seba nods, staying quiet and leaning on Misty's shoulder, still hiding his right eye.

Meanwhile, Bakura walks into the room Risika is in with a little girl on his back, her tail wagging furiously. This little girl looked much like Aqua, the only difference being the red streaks in her silverish hair.

Glancing over at Bakura, Risika comments, "I think you have a parasite..."

Bakura looks over at her. "I think so too, she won't let go," he replies.

Risika laughs. "Ember, you're going to have to get off your dad's back..."

Bakura walks over to sit next to Risika on the couch and is now talking to Ember, who is still clinging to his back. "I'm gonna sit on you if you don't get off."

Ember squeals in cute little voice, "No! Don't smish me, Daddy!" She climbs over on his lap as he sits down.

"I can't get rid of her!" Bakura exclaims.

"Hey, she's your daughter, it's half your fault too," Risika points out.

Bakura rolls his eyes as he shakes his head.

Misty sits Seba down at the table and walks to freezer to get some ice. She takes an ice pack from one of the drawers and puts the ice in it, then walks back over to Seba. Risika looks over into the kitchen and notices the two.

"I see you found him..." she says smiling.

Misty says nothing and places the ice pack on Seba's right eye. Risika sees this and eyes them suspiciously.

"What happened to him?" she asks.

Misty, without taking her eyes off Seba, replies quietly, "Nothing."

"Sure looks like something..." Risika pressures as she watches the two.

Misty sighs, but says nothing, as does Seba. After a few moments of studying them, Risika shrugs and goes back to watching the TV, cuddling up next to Bakura. On the floor, yet another half-wolf demon girl is playing with her dolls in front of the TV. Misty looks at Risika sadly, then back to Seba, and touches his cheek, smiling a

little. Lupus walks over to the blonde-streaked silver-haired girl and steps on her doll and hand on purpose, smiling evilly.

"Oops..." he said shrugging.

"OWWWWWW!" she screams, tearing up. "LUPUS!" She then lunges at him, attacking him and knocking him down.

Ember is sitting on Bakura's lap, watching this and laughing.

"Kids! Stop it!" Risika yelled only to be hushed by Bakura.

"Just let them go... Lupus and Aurora will get over it," he tells her.

While watching this, Seba starts to laugh a little. Misty smiles at Seba and pulls the ice pack off his eye, studying it.

"Hmm... It's still pretty dark, but you'll be ok. You want to go over and play?" she asks.

Seba nods, smiling, and gets up to play with the others, laughing at Lupus and Aurora while they fight. Aurora bites Lupus' ear, growling furiously as he whines and claws at his sister's arm. Seba keeps laughing, shutting his eyes tight and wincing a little, covering his sore eye again.

Risika looks over at him. "What happened, Seba?"

Seba looks up at her, then looks down, saying nothing. Before she can urge him to answer, Risika gets distracted as the bundled fury of Aurora and Lupus moves to around her feet and her leg gets bitten.

"Hey! Watch what you're biting!" she yells, hitting Lupus in the head softly with her foot.

"Sorry, Mom!" Lupus says, before he gets tackled by Aurora again.

Seba stays quiet and sits on the couch, a little ways away from Bakura.

Aqua then appears behind Seba, seemingly coming out of nowhere, squealing, "Hiya Seba! Whatchadoin?"

Startled, Seba jumps and falls off of the couch and lands on the floor. At this time, Ember does a diving leap off of Bakura's lap onto Lupus' back, knocking him over.

"HEY! NO FAIR! Two against one!" he cried.

Aqua laughs as Seba falls off the couch. "Seba, you're funny..." she laughs. Seba blushes and looks down as she laughs.

Aqua then gets up in his face, asking, "What's wrong with your eye?" He backs away from her and covers his eye.

At seeing him back away, Aqua sits back on her heels and starts crying, "SEBA DODN'T LIKE ME!"

Seba shuts his eyes tight and covers his ears.

"Calm down Aqua. He does too like you... Don't you Seba?" Risika says, trying to stop her daughter's crying.

Seba nods, still covering his ears and smiles a little at her. Seba then sits up and crawls back onto the couch. While all this is happening, Ember is still clinging to Lupus' back as he frets to get up, while Aurora is chewing on his tail.

When Aqua sees him nod, she stops crying immediately and glomps him on the couch. "YAY!"

Seba blushes, but does not push her away.

Lupus starts whining. "MOM! EMBER WON'T GET OFF ME!"

Risika laughs and rolls her eyes. "Ember, get off him and attack your dad..."

Bakura's eyes widen. "Not again..." he utters before he gets glomped by Ember. He then looks over at Risika. "She's worse than you..."

Risika laughs sarcastically, "Oh hah hah..."

Seba looks down and away from Aqua when he sees Ember and her 'dad' getting along so well.

While Aqua is sitting on Seba, she tilts her head to the side. "Wassdamatter?" she asks sweetly.

Lupus yanks his tail away from Aurora and smacks her in the face with it. At this, Aurora starts crying, "MOMMY!" and runs to Risika.

Seba shakes his head, then replies in a quiet voice, "Nothing... Now could you get off me?"

"Why?" Aqua asks.

Seba sighs and bows his head. "Never mind..."

Aqua hugs him, smiling brightly. "Cheer up!" Seba only winces as he says and does nothing while he sits there letting Aqua hug him; afraid she'd cry again if he pushed her away.

Aqua then gets an idea and jumps off of him, running to her toy chest. She finds a coloring book and brings it back with her, jumping onto the couch next to Seba as she shoves a green crayon at him.

"Wanna help me color?" she asks smiling.

"Uh... ok..." Seba says unsurely, gently taking the green crayon from her.

Aqua smiles a cute smile and opens the book for him. She then looks down and starts coloring way outside the lines in the book with him.

Aurora is still crying on the couch near her mother and sticks her tongue out at Lupus.

Seba stops coloring for a second and looks up at them, thinking, 'That is just barbaric! They do know they're just gonna start fighting again right?'

Bakura is also sitting on couch, but is being smacked in the face repeatedly by Ember's wagging tail. Risika laughs at Bakura's frustrated look while Seba goes back to coloring with Aqua, and notices she's just turned the page. Risika, still wondering how Seba got his black eye, looks back at Misty.

"Hey Misty! You never did answer my question..." she said, getting up from her comfortable postition on the couch and walking to the stairs.

Misty, who is walking upstairs with breakfast for herself and Kokujo (if she could find him), stops.

"What question?" she asks.

"What happened to your son's eye?" Risika asks.

"Uh... I dunno..." Misty stutters.

Risika glares, pressing her wolf ears back against her head. "You do too know... now tell," she impelled.

Misty just keeps walking up the stairs, trying to ignore Risika, and thinking, Ko's already mad at me and I don't want Risika to beat on him while I try to get him to stop hating me...

Risika growls at her. "Misty! What happens when there are Seether tickets on the line?" she asked, holding up two tickets to a Seether concert, Misty's favorite band.

Misty quickly set food down at top of steps and turned to her.

"Where'd you get those?" she asked, her voice shaky.

Risika smiled evilly. "You should know my ways. I can get anything I want, whenever I want," she said waving the tickets from side-to-side.

Misty starts biting her nails, nervous. "Can I have 'em?" she asked, her voice still nervous and shaky.

"You can... if you tell."

"OK!" Misty said looking over the railing at the doorway to living room, before looking back to Risika. "Come on... I don't want to talk about it where Seba can hear..." she finished, walking to her room.
